Wronskian of { e^(7t) [[1][1]] , e^(-7t) [[1][1]] }

[scrum]

I have problems where I have to find the wronskian of some thing that looks like this

I have no idea how to do it, and the book gives a "hint" that is in math-speak with lots of vecotor symbols and x's. Can someone tell me what to do in plain english please?

What is the definition of Wronskian?

If your text-book/class-notes are of no help - use google!

Re: Wronskian

well it gives a definition that

w [x1(t),x2(t) ... ] = |X(t)| but i don't know what that means and i've been googling it and read the wiki but again it just gives a confusing mathematical definition that i don't understand rather that something that looks like what i have.

i know that for a different type of thing it's like a determinant of something formed by derivatives but i don't know what to do with this.
